[edit] Description
[edit] Spin Attack
This technique consists of the character, while in locomotion, can curl down and take on a fetal position, rolling along the ground at a very high speed and rate of torque, the user is able to destroy barriers and enemies around. Also when you are to leap into the air spinning, the user can curl into a ball, in this way its called Spin Jump.
[edit] Spin Dash
Sonic's registered trademark move, the user curls down and begins revving up, taking on a diagonally pivoted, ovular shape. Once unleashed, the user blasts forward in an acceleration roll of high speeds with limited airborne capability, meant to break barriers or mow down enemies.

[edit] Variatons
Some characters have their own way to perform the Spin Dash move. These are:
Step Dash or Amy Dash performed by Amy Rose: Amy begins to move her feet quickly to gain speed and then she curls into a ball. This happens only in Sonic Advance 2 and Sonic Advance 3, when she is paired with Sonic.
Whirl Dash performed by Espio the Chameleon: in this way, Espio assumes his Whirl tornado formation and spins on the tip of his toes like a top, diagonally pivoted and begins to rev up. Lately in Sonic Heroes he uses Spin Dash
Burst Dash performed by Blaze the Cat: in this way, like Espio, Blaze assume a tornado formation,but she is surrounded by the fire.
Donut Dash performed by Vector the Crocodile: in this way, Vector assumes a ring form, and begins revving up. This was only in Knuckles' Chaotix.
